PreSonus Studio One v6.5 Updates Adds Dolby Atmos Integration & More
PreSonus has dropped the latest iteration of Studio One, version 6.5, and with it comes a slew of updates for spatial audio with Dolby Atmos. You can now record, edit, mix and monitor up to 9.1.6 channels.
The Dolby Atmos renderer is now natively integrated into the multi-channel mixing workflow and there’s also a parallel headphone output for Binaural monitoring.
In addition, to further aid you in your multi-channel projects, version 6.5 also comes with a new Surround Panner and Dolby Atmos Object Panner, with support for 3rd-party panner plugins also included.
The power of your machine will dictate how smoothly all the object panning and rendering works.
Take a look at the new renderer and panner in action:
